CHEAT DAY!!!

My first cheat day! It definitely helped me resist temptation for the first week by thinking of all the indulgent stuff I can eat on Saturday.  (I find that major shifts like this have a 2 week adjustment period.  Once you've been doing it for about two weeks it just becomes habit).

So here's what I have had to eat today:
Breakfast: 
Two eggs scrambled
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with blueberry compote and maple syrup
Cup of coffee with plenty of sugar and half n half

Lunch: 
16 oz IPA beer
the Blutarsky burger from Diablo Burger
some fries
water

Dinner:
2 slices Fratelli's pizza
3 buffalo wings
1 Fat Tire "Dig"
2 brownies
water

Things I noticed: I felt really full while eating, I didn't finish my pancakes or the last bite of my burger.  That is not normal behavior for me.  It was like I felt overwhelmed by the food and I got real thirsty by the end of the day.  And as excited as I was when I woke up to have a cheat/pig out day, it wasn't as great as I thought it would be.  I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but it didn't feel as special and I think I would have been ok having only one cheat meal instead of a whole day.  Maybe I'll spread it out and do 3 cheat meals a week instead of one day....
